Gu Chaoyan was contemplating how to demonstrate the results when Giles offered to help.
Giles, who had initially been cheerful and full of energy, suddenly wore a stern expression. He had an uneasy feeling about the Tribe Chief’s intentions. If only he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have volunteered, and neither would Gary and the others. Now they were stuck with this responsibility, and it was all his fault for stepping up.
Giles stood there, visibly disheartened.
Ignoring his disappointnt, Gu Chaoyan remarked, “You need to be careful with these traps from now on. I’m entrusting them to you.”
“Tribe Chief, where are you headed?” Giles had completely forgotten his recent frustration from talking too much and continued to inquire cheerfully.
“The clan relies on you,” Gu Chaoyan replied vaguely.
Giles was an open and non-devious individual, but he possessed a keen sense for subtext in her words, which stemd from his sensitivity.
Perhaps it was his lack of deceitfulness that made him perceptive in this way.
After Gu Chaoyan’s response, everyone seed to agree, and thus, no more questions were posed.
Gu Chaoyan led them to set up the traps one after the other. Having previously scouted the trap locations, she was able to assemble them rapidly.
By the ti the sun was setting, the task was complete.
Giles chuckled, saying, “Let’s head back and get so rest. We’re all exhausted.”
Initially perplexed, Giles no longer had any doubts when he witnessed the traps. He knew they had to be potent, so he had no intention of experiencing being caught in one.
“Giles, I thought you had your doubts. Why don’t you give it a try?” Gu Chaoyan said candidly, then instructed Gary and the others to supervise.
This was a net crafted from vines, designed to ensnare anyone passing through, serving as a safeguard for the clan.
Before Giles could react, he found himself entangled in the net and unable to extricate himself.
“Tribe Chief, it works, it works! Please release ,” pleaded Giles, his face etched with despair.
Gu Chaoyan instructed them to release him, as she had no desire to subject Giles to further distress.
Her primary objective was to demonstrate the trap’s effectiveness and emphasize its importance.
Having had their fun, it was ti to return.
With the sun now setting, darkness would soon envelop the area, making it challenging to continue their activities. Rest was a priority.
The clan mbers were brimming with energy.
Gu Chaoyan retired for the night. She was the only one in the clan with a place to rest, initially in a tent but now in a bamboo house. She accepted it, not out of preference, but due to the necessity for her personal space.
After several days of arduous work, the Five Elents Clan had made significant progress towards a more prosperous life.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but wonder if their mission was nearing completion.
She called out to the chaotic space within her, but received no response.
In her previous missions, she could occasionally communicate with the Chaotic Space, but now, it seed as if it had disappeared entirely.
Was the mission still incomplete?
